Student Conference on Conservation Science
The Student Conference on Conservation Science is held in Cambridge every year. The T
BA is one of the organisers. It is an exciting three- day event with a mixture of talks, poster presentations, workshops and lectures by plenary speakers. The conference provides a lively forum for conservation biologists to present their work, make international links, and attend lectures and workshops from established biologists. We were delighted with the large attendance of TBA alumni at the 2007 event. Approximately 30 TBA alumni were present representing Switzerland, Ireland, South Africa, Sudan, Holland, Portugal, England, Denmark, Sweden, Kenya, Ghana, and Slovakia. TBA alumni are encouraged to attend the 2008 conference or apply for the SCCS bursaries if you have a talk to give. If you are interested in the coming to the SCCS 2008 (25th-27th March) please click here for further details.
"A great chance to meet and talk to people in conservation biology."
Society of Conservation Biology 2005 Distinguished Service Award
The TBA is a recipient of the Society for Conservation Biology Distinguished Service Award for 2005. This was awarded in recognition for TBA's contribution to the conservation of tropical biodiversity through unique and innovation capacity building and fostering of expertise and support for young conservation biologists. With a membership of 6,000 in 90 countries, and the prestigious journal Conservation Biology, the SCB is regarded as the premier professional society for those seeking to conserve biological diversity. The award was given at the 19th annual meeting of the SCB, held in Brasilia on the 15-19th July 2005.
